U+88BA "袺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
袺
U+88BA "袺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that belongs to the Kangxi radical 145, meaning "clothing" or "garment," and is primarily used in historical or classical Chinese texts. It is composed of the clothing radical on the left, which suggests its connection to attire, and a phonetic component on the right, yielding the pronunciation "jié" in Mandarin. This character specifically refers to the act of lifting or holding up the hem of a garment, often mentioned in ancient rituals or descriptions of proper conduct in texts like the Book of Songs. Today, it is rarely used in modern writing but remains of interest for scholars studying classical Chinese literature and historical customs.
